This is simultaneously the BEST guest appearance I have had the pleasure of hosting, but also easily my most difficult podcast to host and record, and it was because of the pure energy, enthusiasm, and JOY coming from my 11 year old guest, fellow content creator and Hobby Ambassador, Blake Grice of The Blakedown (Instagram @the_blakedown)

We talk about Blake’s origin story where he had to think all the way back to his childhood. We talk about his YouTube channel for his interviews called “Ginter Views,” which is such an awesome play on words.  Blake talks about how positive energy is how he creates his content and why he just wants to be himself.  He gives encouragement and advice to all of us content creators, and I ask Blake questions from my kids.  Blake talks about the process by which Topps created his own card for the 2022 Topps Allen & Ginter set.
